Grandmum Arrives

This weekend, Tobias joined the 4 others in his soccer class, playing with squishy balls, cones, bubbles and parachutes.  Genevieve had fun in her soccer class, then created an owl out of a clay pot in art class.  We stopped at the rock and mineral store to have a good look around.  At home, we did laundry, decorated some presents for friends, blew bubbles and created our own Halloween village collage with pictures from Michael's.  We also played a great game of "what does that spell," where she arranges letters and I attempt to pronounce the word she created.

Tobias went back to gymnastics, and is so happy to be back to trampolines and balance beams.  We then enjoyed some time at the park.  Genevieve was inspired by some pictures from Beauty and the Beast, so used some Model Magic and markers to create her own versions of the stained glass windows.  We enjoyed some storytime, then enjoyed watching baggage claim at the airport while picking up Grandma.

We let Grandma settle in by playing lots of games, art and puzzles and including her in bath and outside play.  We all went to Music Makers in the park this week, which was great fun but a little challenging since it was a little chilly for the California kids.
